Classrooms and On-The-Job Training

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) will help job seekers and workers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and match employers with skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.

Targets Workforce Services to Better Serve Job Seekers:

WIOA provides training services to eligible job seekers and promotes the use of career pathways and sector partnerships to increase employment in in-demand industries and occupations.

On the Job Training:

On-the-Job Training (OJT) provides opportunities for participants to “learn as they earn.” The employer also benefits by being reimbursed for part of the participant’s wages during the training period, while having the services of a full-time employee.
